An Ant Bit Me Poem by Howard The Motivational Poet Simon

There is an old Hindi couplet which deals with a similar subject. It says that a sword cannot do what a small needle is capable of doing. But you have added another dimension to it- ant-bite pain and 'Live and let live- Love even ant'. Thanks.

just imagine when a ant does bite at ones tip and particularly elephant's then see what happens 'tis no fun

I agree with this perspective. Well done

Very profound poem. The pain was big...the memory long. Beautifully expresses the impact of a small thing on humans. And what makes this poem a very special one is that the biting of an ant usually goes unnoticed n is soon forgotten. Only a poetic mind like yours can turn the ordinary into extraordinary and can derive a lesson from the trivial. In the beginning the hurt may cause rage but gradually when the feelings subside n you think with a clear head, even the hurt was for your own good. Well penned.

In this infinite world we are also like a ant and we are biting the nature.

A beautiful, philosophical poem. The ant may be tiny but its capacity to bite is immense. Just shows that we cannot under-estimate a being on the basis of its size. God has made all beings on this earth worthy. Let us learn to treat all alike with love and respect....As always a poem with a great message, Dear Poet Howard.....10

Learning from the ant to gain wisdom! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The poem has a clear message- 'Live and let live'- and the best way to do that is to learn to forgive even when we are in 'big pain'. Loved this inspirational poem, but sadly, I cannot rate it, as the rating system seems to have disappeared, or is there some fault with my PC? :)

Beautifully crafted and masterfully executed.10+++

A wonderful poem with a meaningful message. Everyone has his own strength. We could never understimate the capacity and power of anyone. A tiny dust can make us temporarily blind.
